The abnormal accumulation of neutrophil extracellular traps （NETs） can promote the initiation and progression of pancreatic cancer， which is considered a potential therapeutic target for this disease. The Miraculous Pivot·Inquiry About Statement （《灵枢·口问》） have recorded the concept of "defensive qi stagnation". Based on the recognition that the function of defensive qi is similar to the immune function of neutrophils， and combining traditional Chinese medicine theory with clinical practice， it is proposed that the abnormal accumulation of NETs may be a pathological product of "defensive qi stagnation"， with the spleen being the critical site of pathology. Further exploring the application strategy of cleaning spleen and restoring defensive qi method in pancreatic cancer treatment， it is proposed to employ three approaches such as dredging method to eliminate spleen stagnation and inhibit pancreatic cancer proliferation， cleaning method to remove spleen dampness and suppress the inflammatory micro-environment， and tonifying method to strengthen Weiqi and to improve the immune microenvironment， which aims to provide new insights for the clinical treatment of pancreatic cancer with traditional Chinese medicine.

Pathology is the gold standard for diagnosis of neoplastic diseases.Whole slide imaging turns traditional slides into digital images,and artificial intelligence has shown great potential in pathological image analysis,especially deep learning models.The application of artificial intelligence in whole slide imaging of lung cancer involves many aspects such as histopathological classification,tumor microenvironment analysis,efficacy and survival prediction,etc.,which is expected to assist clinical decision-making of accurate treatment.Limitations in this field include the lack of precisely annotated data and slide quality varying among institutions.Here we summarized recent research in lung cancer pathology image analysis leveraging artificial intelligence and proposed several future directions.

Background: Dust generated during the processing of building materials enterprises can pose a serious health risk. The study aimed to compare and analyze the results of ART and the Monte Carlo model for the dust exposure assessment in building materials enterprises, to derive the application scope of the two models. Methods: First, ART and the Monte Carlo model were used to assess the exposure to dust in each of the 15 building materials enterprises. Then, a comparative analysis of the exposure assessment results was conducted. Finally, the model factors were analyzed using correlation analysis and the scope of application of the models was determined. Results: The results show that ART is mainly influenced by four factors, namely, localized controls, segregation, dispersion, surface contamination, and fugitive emissions, and applies to scenarios where the workplace information of the building materials enterprises is specific and the average dust concentration is greater than or equal to 1.5 mg/m3. The Monte Carlo model is mainly influenced by the dust concentration in the workplace of building materials enterprises and is suitable for scenarios where the dust concentration in the workplace of the building materials enterprises is relatively uniform and the average dust concentration is less than or equal to 6mg/m3. Conclusion ART is most accurate when workplace information is specific and average dust concentration is > 1.5 mg/m3; whereas, The Monte Carlo model is the best when dust concentration is homogeneous and average dust concentration is < 6 mg/m3.

Objective: To detect WNT10A gene mutations in patients with oligodontia or anodontia (≥6 teeth missing) and analyze their dental phenotype. Methods: Patients with oligodontia or anodontia were enrolled from the clinic for oral examination, genetic history collection and whole exon sequencing, and patients with WNT10A gene mutations were included. Sanger sequencing was utilized to validate the WNT10A gene variations in probands and family members compared with the normal sequence. The pathogenicity of WNT10A mutations was evaluated by functional prediction, conservation analysis and structure prediction of protein mutants. Implant rehabilitation was applied to restore the patients' oral function. Results: Five WNT10A gene mutations were detected in six unrelated patients, and c.26G>A (p. Trp9X) and c.1036delT (p. Cys346fs) were novel mutations with pathogenic potential. The mean number of missing teeth was (15.33±8.64) per case. The most frequently missing permanent teeth were maxillary canines (100%), and the least frequently missing teeth were mandibular first molars (25%). Implant rehabilitation was applied in five patients, and patients were found to have ideal implant osseointegration and functional restoration. Conclusion This study identified novel WNT10A gene pathogenic variants, enriching the WNT10A gene spectrum and providing new evidence for genetic diagnosis and prenatal consultation. Implant rehabilitation was also proven to be a treatment option for these patients.

Objective:To investigate the expression of PC4 and SFRS1 interacting protein 1 (PSIP1) in oral squamous cell carcinoma cells and the effects of PSIP1 silencing on the migration and invasion of oral squamous cell carcinoma cells, and to preliminarily explore its mechanism.Methods:The PSIP1 gene of oral squamous cell carcinoma cell line HN30 was silenced by RNA interference technique. HN30 cells were divided into si-NC group (transfected with siRNA-NC) and si-PSIP1 group (transfected with siRNA-PSIP1). Quantitative real-time PCR was used to detect the expression of PSIP1 mRNA. Scratch test and Transwell invasion test were used to detect the migration and invasion abilities of HN30 cells, and Western blotting was used to detect the expression levels of epithelial-mesenchymal transformation (EMT) related proteins in HN30 cells of the two groups.Results:The relative expression levels of PSIP1 of HN30 cells in the si-NC group and si-PSIP1 group were 1.00±0.00 and 0.21±0.06 respectively, with a statistically significant difference ( t=22.30, P=0.002). The scratch healing rates of the si-NC group and si-PSIP1 were (48.21±4.66)% and (42.05±11.74)% at 12 h respectively, with no statistically significant difference ( t=1.46, P=0.173), and the scratch healing rates of the two groups were (86.61±6.06)% and (67.76±3.62)% at 24 h respectively, with a statistically significant difference ( t=8.01, P<0.001). The invasion numbers of HN30 cells in the si-NC group and si-PSIP1 group were 91.00±7.05 and 23.34±4.98, and there was a statistically significantly difference ( t=19.20, P<0.001). Compared with the si-NC group, the migration and invasion abilities of HN30 cells in the si-PSIP1 group decreased significantly (all P<0.001). The expression levels of E-cadherin of the si-NC group and si-PSIP1 group were 1.06±0.02 and 1.43±0.13 respectively, with a statistically significant difference ( t=-4.94, P=0.036), and the expression levels of N-cadherin were 1.00±0.04 and 0.57±0.14 respectively, with a statistically significant difference ( t=5.03, P=0.007). Compared with the si-NC group, the expression level of E-cadherin in the si-PSIP1 group increased, while the expression level of N-cadherin decreased. Conclusion:Silencing the expression of PSIP1 can significantly inhibit the migration and invasion of HN30 cells, and the mechanism may be related to the effect of PSIP1 on the EMT pathway of oral squamous cell carcinoma.

Although DNA 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) is recognized as an important epige-netic mark in cancer, its precise role in lymph node metastasis remains elusive. In this study, we investigated how 5hmC associates with lymph node metastasis in breast cancer. Accompanying with high expression of TET1 and TET2 proteins, large numbers of genes in the metastasis-positive pri-mary tumors exhibit higher 5hmC levels than those in the metastasis-negative primary tumors. In contrast, the TET protein expression and DNA 5hmC decrease significantly within the metastatic lesions in the lymph nodes compared to those in their matched primary tumors. Through genome-wide analysis of 8 sets of primary tumors, we identified 100 high-confidence metastasis-associated 5hmC signatures, and it is found that increased levels of DNA 5hmC and gene expression of MAP7D1 associate with high risk of lymph node metastasis. Furthermore, we demonstrate that MAP7D1, regulated by TET1, promotes tumor growth and metastasis. In conclusion, the dynamic 5hmC profiles during lymph node metastasis suggest a link between DNA 5hmC and lymph node metastasis. Meanwhile, the role of MAP7D1 in breast cancer progression suggests that the metastasis-associated 5hmC signatures are potential biomarkers to predict the risk for lymph node metastasis, which may serve as diagnostic and therapeutic targets for metastatic breast cancer.
